I have been classified as 100% disabled by the VA, and I believe deeply in enlightened, high-quality end-of-life care for all Americans. Today, nine states and the District of Columbia already have Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) statutes on the books. Arizona does not. This is hardly a new issue. Since 2004, advocates for MAID have been working closely with Arizona legislators crafting bills proposing such a law. Interestingly, during that same period, broad public sentiment favoring medical aid in dying has grown significantly – both in Arizona and across the country. For example: • A 2018 survey conducted by Medscape shows that 58% of American doctors support physician-aided dying, up from 46% in 2010. • A 2018 Gallup poll reveals that a broad majority of Americans, 72%, believe that doctors should be legally allowed, at a patient's and a family's request, to end a terminally ill patient's life using painless means. • For much more information about verified polling results, please refer to this website. Clearly, the time is here for logical, open-minded discussion of a “Death with Dignity” law in our state. That is why I am urging you to consider all the compelling evidence and support an aid-in-dying law in the 2021 legislative session. Your support can finally assure me (and thousands more Arizonans) the same rights 70 million Americans in other states already have available to them. I will be calling your office in September to schedule a phone call or meeting to to discuss the importance of a Death with Dignity law in Arizona. Respectfully, Stu Burge 623-882-6767 15786 W.
